Gun Shop Says It Received This

The reason for non-renewal reads: “INELIGIBLE TENANT “GUN SHOP.”

“You may have heard about some Banks refusing to extend credit to businesses that engage in the sale of firearms,” Shooters Outpost wrote on its Facebook page on Thursday. “Along the same lines, we have just received a non-renewal on our Insurance, from Massachusetts Bay Insurance Company, Worcester MA, because our business, Shooters Outpost, a gun shop, is the tenant of our building!”

If this how the Injustice Department wants to play, it will come back to bite them in the ass..

Google operation choke point

I just checked, and the Massachusetts Bay Insurance Company is owned by The Hanover Insurance Group, which is a private company with shareholders. Nothing to do with the "Injustice Department".

This is actually pretty appalling, and I wish it would get more investigation and more coverage. Someone in the administration deserves to lose their job for doing this.

If you have to bake cake for gays you have to sell insurance to a gun shop.

That said I'd certainly allow the baker and insurance company to do business with whoever they want but If this has anything to do with operation Chokepoint it's completely unacceptable and whole other discussion.

Theres pretty strong evidence that this is real, very secretive, and its going to be eaten alive with lawsuits.

Its someone being incredibly dumb in the justice department. They're going to lose lawsuits, and I hope they get smacked around hard by various politicians as well.

Obama admin going after escort services and porn? So the Obama admin wants to monitor and control America's bedroom. I wonder if Sandra Fluke is outraged? Probably not.

No, I did not feel any 'need.' I'm just curious whether Dems would feel outrage over the gov't intruding into the bedroom. Thanks, I now have my answer.
